Benefits of technology

"The present invention aims to solve the problem of attaching and detaching sunshades from spectacles by providing a pivotally openable type spectacles and sunshade-clip assembly. This assembly allows for easy pivoting of the sunshade-clip upward or downward, making it more securely attached to the spectacles."

Problems solved by technology

Although there may be proposed various configurations of a spectacles and sunshade-clip assembly using magnets, practically, such a spectacles and sunshade-clip assembly has not been widely used due to various inconveniences in practical use.
A main reason of a failure in commercialization of the spectacles and sunshade-clip assembly using magnets is a troublesome detachment of a sunshade-clip from spectacles.
Specifically, in the case of a configuration wherein a sunshade-clip has a plurality of clip magnets mounted in tip ends of magnet mounting arms thereof, and spectacles have a plurality of spectacles magnets mounted in hinge leg units thereof that protrude toward the magnet mounting arms, whereby the sunshade-clip is attached to the spectacles by corresponding the spectacles and clip magnets in a one to one ratio, it is very troublesome to detach the sunshade-clip from the spectacles after the spectacles being worn on the wearer's ears.
Furthermore, when it is necessary to repeatedly put on and take off the sunshade-clip, for example, when a wearer frequently goes inside and outside or travels roads having many tunnels, the wearer suffers from heavy attachment / detachment burden.

first embodiment

[0028]Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a spectacles and sunshade-clip assembly according to the present invention is illustrated in perspective views. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, spectacles 1 of the present embodiment include a pair of metallic lens frames 3 each receiving a prescription lens 2 therein, a pair of temple arms 4, and a pair of hinge units 5 used to connect the lens frames 3 to the temple arms 4, respectively. Each of the hinge units 5 includes a pair of upper and lower magnet pieces 5-1 and 5-2, which are vertically stacked one above another in a double-layered manner. A pair of spectacles magnets M1 and M2 is mounted in the upper and lower magnet pieces 5-1 and 5-2, respectively, to be horizontally oriented.

[0029]Also, a sunshade-clip 50 of the present embodiment includes a pair of clip lens frames 52 each receiving a colored clip lens 51 therein. A pair of L-shaped clip arms 53 extends rearward from opposite outer ends of the clip lens frames 52. To a respective one of th...

second embodiment

[0031]FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate a pivotally openable type spectacles and sunshade-clip assembly according to the present invention. In the present embodiment, the pair of lens frame 3 of the spectacles 1 is provided at opposite outer ends thereof with a pair of bent hinge arms 20. That is, one end of each bent hinge arm 20 is fixed to one of the lens frames 3 and the other end of the hinge arm 20 is connected to one of the temple arms 4 by means of a bolt 7. In the present embodiment, a vertically oriented spectacles magnet M3 is mounted to a location of the hinge arm 20 so that it is spaced apart from a rear surface of the hinge arm 20 by a predetermined gap G2.

[0032]The sunshade-clip 50 is provided with the pair of L-shaped clip arms 53, which extends rearward from opposite outer ends of the pair of clip lens frames 52 each receiving the colored clip lens 51 therein. Each clip arm 53 is connected to the hinge bar 55, so that the hinge bar 55 is pivotally rotatable about the hinge s...

third embodiment

[0037]FIG. 8 illustrates a pivotally openable type spectacles and sunshade-clip assembly according to the present invention. In the present embodiment, a hinge unit, used to connect one of the lens frames 3 to one of the temple arms 4, includes a first hinge arm 30, and a second hinge arm 31. The first hinge arm 30 is a protrusion fixed to the lens frame 3, and the second hinge arm 31 is a wire fixed to a rear location of the first hinge arm 30. The first and second hinge arms 30 and 31 form a multistage hinge unit.

[0038]A free end of the second hinge arm 31 is hingedly connected to a hinge shaft portion 4-2, which is fixed close to an end 4-1 of the temple arm 4, by means of a bolt 7 screwed through a shaft hole (not designated) of the hinge shaft portion 4-2. A locking magnet MR is inserted into the end 4-1 of the temple arm 4 in front of the hinge shaft portion 4-2. Also, a hinge magnet M6 is inserted into a rear location of a free end 30-1 of the first hinge arm 30.

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a pivotally openable spectacles and sunshade-clip assembly in which a sunshade-clip is pivotally rotatable about a pair of hinge arm units thereof after being attached to spectacles by use of corresponding spectacles magnets and clip magnets. The spectacles include a pair of lens frames, a pair of temple arms, a pair of hinge units each used to hingedly connect one of the lens frames to one of the temple arms. The spectacles magnets are mounted in the hinge units. The sunshade-clip includes a pair of colored clip lenses, a pair of clip lens frames, a pair of hinge arm units, and the clip magnets mounted to the hinge arm units, respectively, to correspond to the spectacles magnets.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a pivotally openable type spectacles and sunshade-clip assembly, and, more particularly, to an improved structure for detachably attaching a sunshade-clip to spectacles by use of magnets, thereby allowing the sunshade-clip to be pivotally rotated to be opened away from the spectacles.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]In conjunction with spectacles having a pair of prescription lenses and a sunshade-clip having a pair of colored clip lenses corresponding to the spectacles, a structure to detachably attach the sunshade-clip to the spectacles by use of a plurality of corresponding spectacles and clip magnets can be considered. In addition to the attachment object, an inventor of the present invention aims to improve the structure to allow the sunshade-clip to be pivotally rotated upward, thereby being opened away from the spectacles.[0003]Although there may be proposed various configurations of a spectacles and sunshade-clip a...
